Erie RaiIroad Aooommodat;ous.

Horse cars of the Saith street, 1Osh street,
and Grand street ferries, running also to
the Grand Central depot, now start from
the Ferry entrance of the Pavonia Ferry,
New York. A line to Fulton Ferry will be-
gin operations in short time. As these
lines intersect all elevated and surface rail-
roads, this will be great accommodation,
more especially to women and children,
who have been compelled heretofore to
make perilous journey across West street
to reach these conveyances.

A Powerful New Pistol.

I was recently present at the trials
made with a new pistol invented by
Mr.. Marcus, distinguished mechan-
ical engineer. In this invention the
use of a cartridge is dispensed with,
the bullet itself being prepared with
an explosive. But, in spite of this e1-
plosive nature OF the bullet, its shape is
not altered by the explosion. The ex-
plosicn is initiated by a simple mechan-
ism provided in the interior of the pis-
toll The experiments were made with
single-barrel pistolet (the barrel being
four centimeters long and its caliber
six millimeters). At range of thirty
PAGES a three-quarter inch wooden
board was pierced by the bullet, Then
pistol with a simple-acting magazine,
containing twelve bullets, was tried,
allowing the discharge of forty shots
per minute. Fle11aaa Cor. Science.

Trees Fed by Fungi.

Among the numerous forms of fungus
which live upon higher plants Gmany
of which are so detrimental to their
hosts) are some, it is now believed,
which live with these on terms of mu-
tual assistance. Frank found that the
young root-points of some English for
est trees, as the beech and the oak, are
covered with coating of fungus (prob-
ably belonging to the truffie or allied
family), which seems to help i'll the nu-
triton of those trees. Another inter-
esting case is that of fungi which live
with orchids, and whose mode Of propa-

STATIONARY COMETS.
The Peculiar Reflections Observable Mile:
Above Burning Gas Wells.


Often in the winter there may be
seen in the gas region, far up in the
sky at night, one or more faint white
streaks, six or eight feet long. They
look like comets, and the one first seen
was quite generally mistaken for a
comet. Each one of these is caused by
burning gas-well The light OF
the we'll shines upon the small ice
crystals which quite often are floating
in the air, far above us, and is by them
reflected, OF thrown down again, so
that we see it. though the gas-well
may be many miles from us. Every
we'll furnishes but one ''comet t'-as we
may call it. for want Of Il better name
which always appears in the same
place. When the lower air also is filled
with ice-crystals, we see not the COM
cts, but great, fiery streaks, the COM
plete reflections, that reach from the
points where the comets were, down
across the sky to the horizon at the
points where we see the glare of the
distant gas-wells.
They stand out against the dark
background like great, fiery rods, a
central bright streak or spine running
through them, which shades off into a
beautiful glowing red on each side.
They are regular in shape, apparently
about twenty inches wide, the sides
straight, the top slightly rounded. and
the bottom fading away, as it reaches
the flame, in the glare of the well.
No description OF pictures of these
comets and fiery columns can give a
true idea of their strange beauty. which
does not become commonplace by
reason of a regular, every-day-or,
rather, every-night - appearance, as
these phenomena are visible only under
certain favorable conditions. Those
still, chilly nights, when the sky has
hazy appearance, when a few scatter
Ing flakes Of crisp, dry snow may be
auttering down, are the nights upon
which the finest displays are seen; and
several nights may intervene between
these curious and beautiful exhibitions.
Sometimes the comets will appear di-
rectly overhead, and the fiery col
unns often reach to a great height.

of the observer from the source of il

OLD-TIME PEDDLERS.
An Inscriptions Game by Which Some
Of Them increased Their Profits.

An INSCRIPTIONS Game by Which Soma
OF Them Increased Their Profits.
Some years since, while ut Rutlana,
Vt., I stopped at one Of the hotels in
that neat, little, white, marble-orna-
me1lted town. One evening, while
sitting upon the veranda, trying to put
as much time behind me as possible,
and finding it very difficult task to
accomplish, thought ii wouldnt be a
bad idea to strike up a conversation
with the host. who was sitting close by
me, balancing himself in his chair,
with his feet in the air, and on about a
level with his head.
While conversing leisurely. our con-
versation drifted towards 90 peddlers.
"Now let me show you something,'
said the hotel man. and we walked into
the office. He brought out q lot Of old
registers, and turning page after page
of one which he selected, he pointed
out to me the name of James Fisk, Jr..
written in bold hand, and then he
began to relate incidents in the life Of
bot!, Jim Fisk and his father, who,
with wagon stocked with goods, were
wont to travel through that section Of
the country, and always put up at this
hotel.
The registers, as far back as 1856,
were all there, and my curiosity
tempted me to look through them, and
I there found the names Of many Of our
at present wealthy coreligionists en-
rolled therein, who at that time were
pedd]ing, not with wagon, but with
pack upon their back. I singled out a
number of the names of parties Of
whom [ knew, and he remembered
them all distinctly, and many anec-
dotes were related by hiIyl in connection
with some OF them.
The Yankee peddlers, however, he
said, were the shrewdest of all; and he
told about the Yankee clock and jewelry
peddler, who sold o farmer a clock.
The peddler sold clocks all along his
route. and it would take him about four
to six months to 60 over it. The clocks
weren't very accurate. and nearly all
persisted in stopping, or going in the
most eclectic fashion. He would get
around to the first party he sold q
clock. ''The clock is no good,'' was
the complaint. Swell, here's another,
try this;;'' and he would give him
another clock and sell him some other
goods. At the next house the same
complaint was made, and he would
leave the clock he took back from the
last party, and the next party that
complained received the clock in ex-
change that he last took back, and so
on over the route.
The landlord, who was bri1nful of all
kinds of "reminiscences, stories and
tricks Of peddlers, told me of one of
the tricks practiced by shrewd, but dis
honest, pedolers, upon some of their
illiterate customers, who were mostly
farm folks, and who generally bought
all their wares Oh credit, settling for
the same at certain seasons OF the year.
Some of these farmers persisted in ask
ing the s'peddler man. as he was not
infrequently called, after he made out
his bill, to throw off five or six dollars;
honest peddlers would refuse TO do
this, but their less scrupulous compete
tors would readily do SO, and in this
way Nhey never carried bills with a

A DUEL DECLINED.
Philosophical Remarks of an Editor Who
Does Not Care to Be Shot to Death.

Does Not Care TO Be Shot to Death.
The editor of the Rustler, having pub
lished an article concerning Colonel
Bowser, which the latter seemed
offended at, was both astonished and
dislnayed to receive challenge to a
duel, sighed by the Colonel, in which
he was offered his choice of weapons as

E1e did not answer by mail, as he
was requested to- but the ensuing is

ing:
s'Readers of the Rustler will reneln-
Der that in Our last issue we described
Colonel Bowser as man who would
not hesitate to rob his fathers grave to

this in our innocent way, and merely
in the light of a metaphor.
''Had we meant any thing Of the
kind we would have been deferred
from saying it by knowledge OF the
fact that Bowser's father had no filling
in his teeth, unless they were padded
with zinc, as that gentleman died at
the county poor farm and was buried
an a dry-goods box.
.sWe were surprised that any one
could imagine for moment that we
should distort the facts seriously. We
know that the Colonel is an expert at
thinning out hen-roosts when the mid
night bells are toliing, and we give
him credit for more sense than to dis
sect grave for the hepurpose of securing
few fragments of zinc.
4'ln regard to the duel, we must say
that such a proceeding is not compati-
bic with our moral training. We were
raised in the eleyating and ennobling
atmosphere Of a St. Louis boarding
house, and we have never known a harsh.
